CRAVEN HOUSE CAPITAL PLC

Statement by the Investment Manager

The Company's investment portfolio comprises shareholdings in two quoted early-stage pharmaceutical companies listed in Stockholm and ongoing minority shareholdings in five private Swedish-managed businesses operating in the eCommerce and pharmaceutical sectors. These private investee companies remain at a 'pre-revenue' stage of business development and their respective valuations have been maintained at zero. The valuations of Craven's portfolio at the end of the period are as follows:

As previously disclosed, RoseMonkey Ltd (in which Craven is a 24.4% shareholder) was awarded 1,416,007,811 shares in QuiaPeg Pharma AB in the prior period. During the current period, RoseMonkey distributed a proportionate amount of those shares to Craven House. Craven House therefore received 345,505,096 shares representing 23.2% of QuiaPeg. There was no other material activity during the current period.
